Quote Poynton="Poynton"Michael Carter was involved in the club when Elston was running it in to the ground. What sort of an accountant is he? Just look at the website and try and buy a ticket for the next home game and you get offered tickets for last season. Do they really want to make money or what? If you want to wear rose coloured spectacles and have faith in people who have already failed the club then carry on. I could go on old settee in the toilets turnstiles never opened etc etc'"
My word what a load of guff.
I'm still baffled as to why MC wants to be involved in the club, I can't see his motive and that still worries me.
However there is no doubt he has sorted the club out in a big way which shows he's a bang on accountant.
As for his part in the Glover era, he came in late - wasn't the clubs actual accountant and unless he'd have made a big effort to look would not have seen the dodgy figures right until the end (the last 12 month) - if you knew anything about running a RL club it's very easy to cook the books so as even the best accountants can't spot the scam.
He's probably not guilt free but it's unfair to blame him for not spotting the problem any quicker than anyone else in the game.
As for the way the clubs run today it's not slick I agree, but in the list of priorities facing MC and Co it's not that bad.
